CVS does not use a file called .passwd, so whatever you do with this
file does not affect anything at all.
You need to put a file named passwd (no leading period) into the
<repository root>/CVSROOT directory. THis file must contain a list of
the accepted CVS user logins. Each such login must exist in the domain
or on the local CVSNT machine.

Also I don't think using double equals signs (==) will help a lot, the
config file parser probably is looking for single =.
